A couple of weeks ago I took part in the Counter Plymouth Artists' Book Fair. Needless to say the days leading up to it were a scramble of activity putting together some new books. In particular I was pleased to finally realise a book I had planned and printed during my MA, but which had turned into a set of prints for the final show. Having located the leftover printing, and the tickets that were the catalyst, the result is a set of books called Grand Tour - so far France and Germany are complete, England is on the way, and Italy is awaiting a donation of used train tickets from that country....if anyone has some tucked away.

As usual, to achieve a simple yet satisfying end result a lot of calculations were needed on the obligatory scrap of paper. And the best bit of the whole process? Getting to use the ex-GPO stamp to number the edition - thanks Jenny!
